O brother, Wisdom is pouring into youfrom the beloved saint of God.
You've only borrowed it.
Although the house of your heartis lit from inside,that light is lent by a luminous neighbor.
Give thanks; don't be arrogant or vain;pay attention without self-importance.
It's sad that this borrowed statehas put religious communitiesfar from religious communion.
Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi, may Allah sanctify his soul & bless his secret
